The Senators (40-34), who lost for just the third time in the last 11 games, tried to hold off the Fisher Cats with a 1-0 advantage over the first seven innings. The pitching of Treinen and a first inning solo home run by Steven Souza Jr. seemed to be enough.

Treinen, however, was taken out after seven innings (he threw 46 pitches in the first two innings) and the Fisher Cats (34-40) plated three runs in the eighth as Harrisburg used Ryan Perry and Pat McCoy.

Matt Swynenberg struggled with his control in the ninth inning and walked in a run to make it 4-1. New Hampshire's late inning offense made a winner of starter Sean Nolin, who moved to 4-2 after striking out seven against no walks in seven innings. The 'Cats righty gave up only four hits and retired his last seven batters.

Randy Boone swept up the last two innings to grab his first save of the season.

Despite the loss, Harrisburg remains in sole possession of first place in the Eastern League's Western Division after Erie fell at Binghamton 6-5 in 10 innings.

TURNING POINT

With Treinen's pitch count at 98 after seven innings, the Senators went with the bullpen in the late innings as Perry began the eighth inning.

Brian Van Kirk (2-for-4) singled to lead off the inning followed by a walk to Adam Loewen. After Perry struck out Andy Burns, right fielder Brad Glenn (1-for-5) smacked a double to left to tie the game at 1-1.

Catcher A.J. Jimenez then hit a grounder to deep short where shortstop Jose Lozada's only play was to the plate, but Loewen slid past the tag of Harrisburg catcher Sandy Leon to make it 2-1.

McCoy replaced Perry and gave up an RBI single to designated hitter Clint Robinson.
